Temperance a thousand places

It's early, I'm awake
In the darkness I stare
Well, I can't remember
The name of this new place
It's funny when it happens
And you do not have a clue
It makes you realize
You are alive
One million lights
Are shining bright
So many faces
I do not know
A thousand places
I want to see
This is a secret
To break free
Walking down the streets
I can breathe the thick air
Then suddenly,
The desert is here
And when I'm getting used
To the city I'm in
I will not stay,
The world awaits
Here it comes the day
That I'm leaving again
I am always amazed
By new colours and scenes
Every land's so different
From the previous that I've seen
Different words
And different ideas
